"...Democrats would have to agree with the American people that our border needs to be secure, and that we need some kind of physical barriers to secure it. It's not complicated; it's common sense.
Republicans would have to agree with the American people that "dreamers," kids who grew up here after being brought to the United States by their parents, must be welcomed into our society. Again, it's common sense.
That's it. That's all. Done. It is simply asking politicians to agree with the voters and do something practical and logical. In what parallel universe is this a hard decision? Answer: Washington.
The truth is, the vast majority of Republicans are ready to make this deal, and are ready to provide a route for the dreamers. But Democratic leaders are not ready to make this or any deal....
Securing our borders with a physical barriers is not a partisan issue, it's a common-sense issue. Likewise, once we agree to secure our borders, it is only common sense to deal fairly and justly with the dreamers.
There is only one thing standing in the way of this common-sense solution for America: Irrational and clouded thinking motivated by hate from Democratic leaders in Washington...."
